The gold would look great on the grey. You can Plasti-Dip them gold if your unsure, and then just peel it off if it’s not to your liking.
GOLD WHEELS?
I got my 4c about a year ago now and ever since I got it I’ve always wanted to replicate seen through glasses 4c however I have a basalt grey car and don’t know if the gold will go with the grey (planning on respraying the OEM wheels gold)
Thoughts?

That would by my humble suggestion. Believe it or not, gold is a very difficult colour to "hit" properly. How do I know...take a look at the gold on my Italia which took 2+ weeks of review and MULTIPLE tone mixes to get it right -and believe it or not in different settings it looks more "right" than others. I thought I had a magic bullet and could rotate them on my basalt 4C as well...NO CHANCE lol. They (that tone) looked absolutely... AWFUL on the gray. We (shop and I) both agreed that the Basalt lended itself to the Ferrari Copper/Bronze combo much much better. I would either go with a dusty pale gold or, on the opposite end of that spectrum, a shade even deeper than Sam's (Seen Through Glass). Also, be careful of the 'green' hues in some golds as they will lend themselves to some of our other ALFA colours, but IMHO not our gray.

I'm not opposed to the gold or bronze, just not with a gray car. I personally ended up painting mine after seeing a ferrari while getting my car PPFd. Decided to go with the same paint color as the wheels on the 430 Scuderia. Now however, since there has recently been an addition of a giulia, also of the same color, I want to switch to the oem dark teledials, to match both body paint and wheels lol.
